For many people buying a hypercar is the ultimate dream. However, with price tags starting in the millions, it may only ever be a dream. That is of course unless you can find a less traditional way to secure your own piece of hypercar real estate.

One man with a plan to do just that is Rob Ferretti, from the YouTube channel superspeedersrob. In his new video, he details a way to buy one of these supercars for a fraction of the cost and turn it into a long-term investment project with huge earning potential.

Rob Ferretti Reveals His Investment Plans

Many viewers may remember the viral footage of the McLaren P1 that was completely flooded in Florida, courtesy of Hurricane Ian. It recently showed up for auction, and after repeated re-listings when it failed to make more than $400,000, it appears to have sold. Rob reveals that he wanted this car, but rumor has it that fellow YouTuber Freddy Tavarish may have won it.

Rob reveals that purchasing a wrecked hypercar like this has always been his plan. He believes that the value of any Ferrari, McLaren, or Bugatti hypercar only increases with time. If you can afford to buy one and maintain it, it makes a really smart long-term investment. But if you can’t afford to buy one, Rob reveals another option.

Buying A Wrecked Hypercar At Auction

According to Rob, if you can find one of these cars for cheap at an auction, even if the car is beyond all possible repair, it is worth buying for the VIN alone. Rob plans to do just that with a Ferrari F50 or a Ferrari Enzo and sit on it for 10-20 years while the value increases.

He recalls a visit to the Ferrari factory where he asked what would happen if someone needed a part for a car they no longer make. They explained that they have all the tools and molds for every part ever made, so it can be remade. They even have a classics dept that will rebuild any car from the ground up.

While it doesn’t make much sense to spend millions restoring an Enzo that he could buy for the same price, it would make sense in 10-20 years after they have stopped making that car. The value will have increased by then, and the full, Ferrari-certified rebuild could see him make upwards of $1,000,000 profit. He even speculates that other Hypercar manufacturers will want to cash in on the rebuild action, and open similar classic restoration departments.

While Rob did want to win the flooded Mclaren P1 himself, he admits that the electric element of it does scare him a bit. He speculates that it could cost millions to have it properly repaired by McLaren, and he’s not sure that it’s worth that at this point. He does however congratulate Freddy for beating him to it and wish him the best in its restoration.

While it’s true that hypercars are a great long-term investment, it may be too much of a gamble to go the wrecked car route. Only time will tell which cars will really appreciate in value.
